Jude has suffered through hard times - having lost his mother to a drunk driving accident and his father to prison before being sent, alongside his elder sister Callie, into the foster system where he would be bounced through various foster homes. Despite his rough upbringing, he always managed to have a good conscience and a bright outlook on life. It wasn't until he met the Fosters that he finally found his "forever home".
Jude is portrayed by Hayden Byerly.
Biography
Jude is Callie's younger maternal half-brother, whom she rescued from an abusive foster father's house in the pilot episode. Jude and Callie do not learn of their half-sibling status until the season 1 finale, having always believed they were full siblings.When Callie was ten and Jude was six, their mother passed away in a car accident that their father's drunk driving was responsible for. Consequently, their father went to prison for manslaughter since he had also killed other people. As a result of having no relatives to care for them, Callie and Jude were placed into the foster care system for six years. Their time in the system is implied to be rough and abusive. After they entered the foster care system, Callie took Jude under her wing and became completely focused on protecting him, becoming somewhat of a parental figure to him.
Despite often moving house to house while in foster care, which proved to be hard on him and his sister, Jude is a rather quiet and often peaceful child. While usually not being in a particular foster home for long, even becoming accustomed to this pattern, he always enjoyed the good homes he sometimes did get to live in. Callie, however, would often encourage him not to get too attached to the good homes.
While it has been stated that Jude has been abused by at least one foster parent, which Callie described as "getting the crap beaten out of him", he hasn't let such treatment hinder him and is always a pleasant person. Whether he was abused by other foster parents and the extent of his abuse in the system is left unknown and mostly unmentioned.
After being taken in by the Adams-Foster family, Jude finally finds his "forever home", and is eventually adopted even though Callie had trouble getting adopted herself.
Physical appearance
Jude is a young boy with short dark brown hair and brown eyes. Jude's appearance changes over the course of the series as he develops into an adolescent. In season 1, he is a somewhat short young boy who has yet to really physically develop. However, from season 2 to season 3, he has considerably grown to where he is at least a foot taller - almost taller than Callie - and his voice has deepened significantly. Also, his cheeks have become more slender.The clothing Jude wears is usually casual, mostly regular jeans and T-shirts that consist of a similar design. However, when it comes to formal events (such as dances and events like his adoption or Father's Day brunch), he always dresses in a suit or in a more proper manner.
Series
Pilot
After Callie is sent to juvie and shortly released to the Fosters, Jude is left to continue living with his abusive foster father. After Callie calls him using Brandon's cell phone, assuring she is coming for him, Jude keeps calling the number to get into contact with Callie. During one of the calls, Brandon mentions the number repeatedly calling him and Callie answers one of Jude's calls and tries to talk to Jude, desperate to know if he is okay. However, he is quickly taken off the phone by the foster father. She tries to leave to go to him and get him out of the house, but Brandon demands answers. Callie finally tells him that Jude is her younger brother, and she refuses to leave him with their foster father and must get to him. Brandon refuses to let her go alone and decides to go with her.
Once at the foster house, Jude is seen on screen washing dishes as Brandon tries to act as a distraction to allow Callie to see him. However, their plan quickly fails and a violent fight ensures with the foster father who begins waving a gun around, threatening to shoot as Jude covers his ears. Stef and Mike quickly arrive and stop the situation from escalating further and Callie embraces Jude, who desperately clings to her. Callie and Jude are reunited and leave together arm in arm as Brandon explains to Lena that Jude is Callie's brother.
While talking to Callie, Stef tells her how things could have gotten really bad if they hadn't arrived when they did. However, Callie says she doesn't care if she is sent back to juvie - only wanting to be assured that Jude will be somewhere safe. However, Stef refuses to allow Callie to be sent back to juvie. She and Lena allow Jude and Callie to stay with them for the time being.
Consequently
Jude is with Callie at the Foster house, having breakfast, and enjoying some pancakes. When Stef and Lena try to contemplate what to do with Jude and Callie, since Lena no longer feels comfortable with Callie after the previous episode, Stef watches Jude climbing a tree in their back yard from the kitchen window.
Later, Jude begins school at Anchor Beach where Lena tells him which section of the school to stick to. When hearing he could run into Callie, Jude becomes visibly happy. During class, Callie looks for him and sees him in class through the window. She taps on the window to get Jude's attention. Seeing her, Jude excuses himself from class and leaves to go see Callie. Outside, she asks if he is okay. He says that he is fine, much to her relief. Callie then asks if he talked to Bill, which he did. Callie wonders if Bill "said anything" to Jude. Jude tells her that he said "hi", but nothing else. He then goes back to class.
At home, Callie helps Jude with his math homework. After helping him, Callie goofs around with Jude. He then asks how long they will stay at the Fosters house, but Callie doesn't know. He then gets back to his homework. Later, Jude wanders into the kitchen where he asks Lena if there are any chores he can do. Lena is confused at his request, and he explains how since all of his former foster homes were aware he wouldn't stay long, they'd give him chores to do in the meantime. Lena asks him to help set the table for dinner. As he helps out, he asks if she and Stef are married. Lena says no, legally, but they are "married in their hearts". Jude answers how that is more or the less the same thing, which makes her smile.
After this, Lena and Stef call a family meeting. They reveal their decision that they are not in a financial position to keep Jude and Callie there, but do wish for it to be their last foster home while Bill tries to find them a permanent family. They tell them that since their stay could be anywhere from a week or a year, they'll need to make proper preparations. They've ordered some beds and arranged for Callie and Jude to share rooms with Mariana and Jesus, much to the latter's dismay.
After school the following day, Jude recalls to Callie how he met a boy named Connor in class who was nice to him. He has also begun reading the book A Wrinkle in Time, but doesn't understand it. When coming home, Mariana is told to take him upstairs while Lena and Stef talk to Callie. As he does, Jude looks down after her in concern.
Hostile Acts
Jude is rushing along with a busy Foster household morning. He sneaks into the bathroom as Brandon is distracted. Brandon gets frustrated with Jude, and Jude promises he will be out soon because he just needs to use the bathroom, only to take a quick shower instead. Afterwards, Jude joins the breakfast table beside Callie.
Later, he learns from Lena how he must pass an exam to stay at Anchor Beach Charter School. For the test, Jude has to get at least a passing grade of 65 percent. Both he and Callie are deeply upset by being possibly separated again, but Lena promises them that she will prep him for the test. He is then seen studying with Lena for math, his weakest subject. When Brandon comes in and appears bothered, Lena tells Jude that he did some really good work and to head upstairs for bed.
When studying with Lena again, he is gradually frustrated by his misunderstanding of math. Jude then suggests that perhaps he is just not smart, but Lena assures him that he is especially given he's been at six different schools in six years. He then corrects her that he's been to seven different schools in six years, getting back to work. He then joins the family in game of Monopoly, having fun. Later, he walks in on Callie having a fight with Mariana for, supposedly, reading her journal. As Callie walks out, he asks her why she can't just get along with her. Callie hands him the journal, where he realizes she had written about Liam.
At school the following day, Jude is taking his test when Lena tells him his time is up. As he heads out, he asks how all he needs is a 65 and he can stay there, and Lena assures him that everything will be fine and that she is proud of him. However, when she grades his work, it is clear Jude will not make it. Hesitantly, Lena changes one of his answers so that Jude just barely gets a 65 percent - ensuring he can further remain with Callie at school.
Later on, Jude is with the family while watching a movie and doing his writing assignment. He brings up how he needs to name his antagonist in his English paper and as the family give him names, Tayla suggests the name 'Liam'. Realizing that she is the one to have read Callie's journal, he glances back at his sister.
Quinceañera
At home, he helps make dinner by cutting up some cucumbers. When Mariana invites Callie to be in her court for her quinceanera and reveals she is required to wear a matching gown, much to Callie's disdain, Jude giggles to himself. Later, he nearly walks in on Lexi and Jesus making out in the bathroom.
When Jesus walks back in the room, Jude is watching him in suspicion. After Stef comes in, thanking Jude for helping with dinner, talks with Jesus before leaving. As Jesus closes the door, Jude stares at him. Jesus asks what's up, and Jude says nothing while smirking. When Lena's mother, Sharon Elkin, drops by in celebration of the twin's birthday, he and Callie meet her and properly introduce themselves. She warms up to them, even saying she has plenty of gifts for them as well. After getting dressed, he walks in on Tayla and Callie sharing a tense moment, unaware of it.
He is later seen enjoying the party and clapping as Callie, Lexi, Mariana and Jesus come out for the waltz and dance. When Callie and Brandon are about to dance the scheduled waltz, he is seen looking back to see Tayla's bitter reaction. Later, he and Callie watch Jesus and Lexi together. While Callie is confused, Jude explains they have a thing for each other. Callie wonders how he knows, to which he responds that he "pays attention". He then calls her out for her romantic tension with Brandon, causing her to insist she isn't stupid. However, he says that she makes stupid choices. Just then, a pretty blonde girl taps him on the shoulder; she asks if he wants to dance. He accepts and is later seen dancing, having a good time.
When Stef and Lena show a slide show to the guests of Mariana and Jesus' time with Stef and Lena, he and Callie are shown hugging and beside each other. Jude and Callie slightly sad while seeing the twins memories and happy childhood with Stef and Lena, bringing Callie to nudge Jude and hug him again. When the family brings all the kids up for a family photo, they both initially decide to stay seated. However, the family urges them to come up as well for the photo.
The Morning After
After a small party and gathering at the Foster house, Jude is seen helping the family clean up and handling the remainder of food left over. When Lena suggests the family going to Garret's poetry slam, Jude agrees to go as he zip locks some bread. He later shakes hands with a leaving Wyatt, saying it was nice to meet him.
The next day, while Mariana is painting her nails, he tells her that the color is pretty when she asks if it looks good with her outfit. After a moment, she offers to paint his nails for him. As she does, she asks him if anything new is going on in his life and if he's made any new friends. He tells her about a boy in his math class, named Connor, who he is becoming friends with. Callie then comes in to get her bag and, seeing the nail polish, tells him not to wear the nail polish to school. He is visibly upset over this until Mariana tells him he does not always have to do everything Callie says. Feeling encouraged, he decides to wear the nail polish to school.
Jude and Connor are then seen walking out of class while talking about the large fish he caught. Connor asks if he has ever gone fishing, and he remarks he's never even been on a boat. Connor invites him to tag along with him and his dad sometime, much to Jude's happiness. Connor leaves to go get his forgotten class book when some boys seize the chance to tease Jude about his nail polish. Jude stands up to them, telling them to grow up, bringing one of the boys to slam Jude against the locker wall. Connor comes back by then, but watches in reluctance. A teacher comes by and stops the bullying from escalating, sending the bullies to the office, as Jude and Connor lock eye contact. Jude rushes off.
While Jude plays video games, Lena asks him if he is okay. Jude assures her that he's fine. She then sits next to him and tells him that if he wishes to talk, he can to her. At this moment, Callie enters the room. Callie asks what's going on and Lena just says her brother had a rough day at school. Callie wants to learn what happened, and Lena explains how other boys noticed his blue nail polish. Callie then scolds Jude for not taking it off even after she told him too. She then yells at him to take the nail polish off immediately, and Jude yells at her to stop bossing him around before storming off.
